Looks interesting. Customers of our data wrangling tool (Easy Data Transform) are asking to be able to pull data out of REST APIs, but we don't currently support this. So it could be an interesting way to bridge the gap.

Would love to chat and try a few use cases together! At first glance I see you can drag in csv files, which could be generated by crul and either manually downloaded or scheduled and written to the filesystem.

Crul is a really easy way of populating tools that need data, whether it's just a one time thing for a demo/static data set or a scheduled data feed, so this kind of usage makes sense to us.

That might be interesting. I will try to find some time to have a play with Crul. Do you support pulling data from an API on a schedule?
Yes that is possible, although we currently have the scheduler set as an enterprise feature. We should look into a free trial, I enjoyed the flow of the EasyDataTransform installation with the free trial option.

We're taking a different apporach to our enterprisey competitiors. ;0)

Understandable.
